bananas

good things:
*a plan to someday write a novel
*people who use "novel" as an adjective
*making a delicious sandwich out of great harvest bread while dancing to hollaback girl around the kitchen
*channel 24 (watch it really really late at night with your closest Christian friend and it is a bajillion times funnier than comedy central)
*bonfires and ice cream
*having the house filled with fretting over what shoes to wear tonight because tom or bob is taller or shorter, oohing and ahhing over dresses and hair styles, and all other sorts of random drama

"me, too, secrete the inhuman. at certain moments of lucidity, the mechanical aspect of their gestures, their meaningless pantomime makes silly everything that surrounds them. a man is talking on the telephone behind a glass partition; you cannot hear him, but you see his incomprehensible dumb show: you wonder why he is alive. this discomfort in the face of man's own inhumanity, this incalculable tumble before the image of what we are, this 'naseau,' as a writer of today calls it, is also the absurd. likewise the stranger who at certain seconds comes to meet us in a mirror, the familiar and yet alarming brother we encounter in our own photographs is also the absurd." -camus
